Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
A father has a great right to piety and kindness, and to obedience in what is good. Therefore, one must bring joy to him and avoid angering him. If a father does not wish for his son to be a Salafi, this might be due to what he perceives as errors committed by some who claim to be Salafi. Therefore, the son should explain to his father, with wisdom and a good approach, the true meaning of Salafism, which is following the righteous predecessors in their understanding and application of the Qur’an and Sunnah. One can seek assistance from fatwas to clarify this.
